Sweet drinks were traditionally the only way women could make their evenings special. While they could drink gin or wine, they were not allowed to consume strong liquors. These drinks were often not considered ladies-friendly. To address this problem, bartenders created "girly" drinks that were not too sweet, but still had some alcohol in them.
Singapore sling is one example of such a cocktail. It was created by a bartender at Raffles Hotel in Singapore in the early part of the 20th century. The sling is a combination of gin, lime, and herbal liqueurs. This drink is great for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan was created by a New York bartender. Cosmopolitan was the feminine name of the drink. The original version of the drink was a martini. It became famous after it was featured on the TV show Sex and the City.
Appletini, a mixed drink that combines vodka, brandy or apple juice, is another popular girly drink. It's also considered a mirror of the screwdriver.
The No Sleep Till cocktail is another option for women. It's made with Aperol, Aperol and a splash lemon juice. This cocktail is great for ladies night. Apart from the classic cocktail, a great evening is filled with laughter, gossip, as well as a drink.
Gin and Tonic is another popular drink. This is made with tonic and gin. Gin and tonic can be refreshing but it can be quite strong. It is usually served with an ice cube but you can also enjoy it with a slice or lime.
Another cocktail that ladies love is the Mint Julep. It is made from 2 sugar cubes, fresh mint leaves, and 2 sugar cubes. This drink is great to enjoy at a Southern party or movie night.
The fuzzy nave cocktail, on the other hand, was a cloyingly sweet drink. The original recipe was made with orange juice, peach schnapps and sugar syrup. It is now made using fresh orange and lemon juice. Although the cocktail was popular in the early twentieth century, its popularity was restricted to the upper-class. The Raffles Hotel clientele was wealthy and famous, so the cocktail was a big hit.
As more bartenders are updating the flavor profiles of their cocktails, they are balancing the feminine aspects of classic drinks with new ones. The Cosmopolitan, for instance, has been de-feminized in order to appeal more to men. It's still a sweet drink that's very drinkable.
Another drink for ladies is the Crazy Frog, which is a fun and flirty cocktail. The Crazy Frog, like the mojito is great to bring to a party. It's perfect any time of year.
These girly drinks are very popular, but some men won't mix alcohol with sweet beverages, despite their popularity. They want something new to drink in their glass.
